Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In WPS Presentation, you can open Developer Tools → Control Toolbox → Image to insert an image control, then set Picture, PictureSizeMode, and Name in the properties panel.	Microsoft Office supports Insert > Pictures to add pictures from a device, stock images, or online sources, then resize, move, and wrap them.	Google Docs focuses on online document creation and collaboration, with templates, smart chips, and imported file editing, but the product page does not describe a slide-style image control with property settings.	Notion lets users add, resize, arrange, replace, caption, and add alt text to images in pages and databases.	Adobe Acrobat lets users add an image to a PDF, then move, resize, rotate, crop, align, and layer it.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a control-based image workflow inside presentations, including direct property settings for picture source, scaling mode, and control name.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on picture insertion and layout handling in Office documents rather than a presentation control with property fields.	Compared with WPS: the official page emphasizes collaborative document creation and editing, not a configurable image control workflow for slides.	Compared with WPS: image handling is designed for page content and database media management rather than presentation controls.	Compared with WPS: image tools are designed for PDF editing instead of slide-based control placement.
Official Source	—	Insert pictures	Google Docs product page	Images, files & media	Add image to a PDF

Overall Conclusion
If you need a configurable image control inside a presentation workflow, WPS is more closely aligned with that use case. The other products support image insertion or media handling as well, but their official pages focus more on document collaboration, page content management, or PDF editing.
